Sound familiar?

You know you're overpaying

You've done the back-of-napkin maths. 40% income tax, plus NI, plus dividend tax, plus capital gains. The total is painful, but you've never seen the exact number.

The information is a mess

Every "guide to moving to Dubai" is really a sales pitch from someone who wants to set up your company. Conflicting advice, outdated numbers, hidden agendas.

You're deciding on vibes

This isn't choosing a holiday. It's uprooting your life. You need hard numbers and clear answers, not Instagram reels of supercars.

Enter your financial details and we'll check every route instantly.

Property, investment, business revenue, salary, PhD, exceptional talent. See which ones you qualify for and how close you are on the rest.

FAQ

Questions people ask us

Is this really free?

Yes. Every tool, every guide, completely free. We make money when we connect you with a specialist and you choose to work with them. Not by charging you for information or gating results.

How accurate is the tax calculator?

It uses official 2025-26 HMRC rates and covers income tax, National Insurance, dividend tax, and capital gains tax. It's a solid estimate, but your actual savings depend on your specific circumstances (residency status, timing, pensions, etc.). We recommend getting specialist advice before making any decisions.

Do you sell my data?

No. The tax calculator doesn't even require a signup. If you choose to submit your details for a specialist consultation, that data goes to the specialist you're matched with. Nobody else.

Who are the "vetted specialists"?

Tax advisors, immigration lawyers, company formation agents, and other professionals who specialise in UK-to-UAE transitions. We vet them on credentials, client feedback, and responsiveness. We're building this network now. If you're a specialist, get in touch.

Does the UAE really have zero income tax?

Yes. Zero personal income tax, zero capital gains tax, zero dividend tax, zero National Insurance equivalent. The UAE does have a 9% corporate tax on business profits over AED 375,000, and 5% VAT. But personal income is untaxed.

How does the visa finder work?

You answer 5 quick questions about what you do, your income range, family situation, and timeline. We match you with the right visa type from 7+ options, including a Golden Visa eligibility check. Takes about 2 minutes. No signup, no data stored.

I'm not ready to move yet. Should I still use these tools?

Absolutely. Most people start with a number and sit on it for months before taking the next step. The tools are just information. No commitment, no follow-up unless you ask for it.

Are you a UAE service provider?

We connect you with pre-qualified leads. People who've already researched their move and know what they need. Company formation, visas, tax advisory, property, schools. If you help people relocate, we want to hear from you.
